Jason Wu Shines on Inauguration Night

The wait is finally over: Michelle Obama chose a cream one-shoulder gown embellished with Swarovski crystals and organza pieces by Jason Wu for the big gala inauguration night. Wu, profiled in last month's ELLE and credited with starting a feminine revolution, can expect his two-year-old label to catapult to new heights overnight. The almost wedding-like dress he custom-made for Obama has won raves from many, but naysayers feel the fit was off, the train too long, and the skirt too full. Tell me, what do you think of one of the most historic gowns ever?
